At the end of the battle, in which 160,000 men clashed, 7,500 lay dead from both sides. It was a fierce and bloody battle that was won by the Federal Army.

Robert E. Lee attempted and failed to invade the North in a move designed to take pressure off of Virginia and possibly earn a victory that could end the war. The failure of Pickett’s Charge meant that the South had lost. The loss for the South was demoralizing and General Lee never again attempted to invade the North on this grand scale.

Lee is quoted as saying-"this is all my fault, it is I that have lost this fight." He retreated back into Virginia and his grand plan to produce a victory on Union soil was defeated and the tide of the whole war was changed.
